Standing Tall!!!

Yah. I know. Sorry. Well, not really! There's just so much going on! I can't help but keep everyone updated.

Jackson has been sick and missed school Tuesday and also today. We were supposed to go to St. Louis Children's for the Urology clinic but I rescheduled because I didn't want to bring him into the hospital with a GI virus. I wasn't going to take him to school with the virus. We would just stay home. Well, about an hour after I rescheduled the appointment, I received a phone call from National Seating and Mobility. Jack's stander was in! Todd, the guy who takes care of us, wanted to bring it by this morning. I informed him about Jackson's virus. He was ok with it.
Here are the pics! I took some pictures of the seating material, the frame, footrest, and tray, and of course of Jack using it!

   
Yah. It's big.
This is what the frame looks like with the support down. Jackson has to be laying down when I strap him in. Once secured, I push a foot pedal and the support moves into position. I can place Jackson in any angle, but I'm assuming that he will always be upright.

The material is vinyl or leather. I can't tell! I admit it.

The foot plates have a sandpaper-like material to keep feet from slipping.

The tray has an overlay to cover the hole where a bowl goes.

   
The frame is red. I like the sparkles!
Getting everything adjusted.

That hole in the tray is where the bowl will go. It's in the mail.

all settled in.
Note the pictures where Jackson is crying-screaming-squealing, he was mad because Todd was bothering him!
